[QUOTE=notyard;33243]Just a thought for a new thread--

Rave Hair Masque--a thick conditioner that came in a big tube--contained waxes, but I didn't care as it left my hair shiny and made detangling go so much faster--I didn't see any of the much talked about buildup problem from waxes and I used it for two years--discontinued in the late 80's

I remember this--scary thing is I think I still have some:eek:

[Cpogie]

OH my husband would kill, ok not kill but would love it if they still made and sold STYLE Hairspray!

[deidremartin]

Does anyone remember the candy bar Barnone... it was kinda a chocolate wafer type bar.. they were sooo YUMMY!!!

[catherine423]

[rebate queen]

Marathon candy bars-yum!

[elliedoom]

I wish Avon would bring back Côte d’Azur fragrance.

Other products I miss are Manwich Bold & Spicy and Contadina Pasta Ready tomatoes. Oh, and Marshmallow Freakies cereal.

[vealcalf]

Many years ago Nabisco made their own baked Tortilla Chip w/Cheese, it came in a box like wheat thins and it was AWESOME! We bought a box for a family vacation and when we came back home they were no where to be found.

Long John Silvers used to have wraps which were huge tortilla with your choice of fish or chicken, rice, tartar sauce or ranch dressing, and lettuce/tomato and they were the yummiest things! I remember they were so big I could only eat 1/2 but you can be sure the other 1/2 was gone by the end of the day ;)

[Cpogie]

Green Goddess Salad Dressing, the original one! This made a return once, but it did not taste the same, and now even that one is gone.

[lizmolik]

There were these chips I used to love I believe by lay's...they were called Applewood bar-b-q chips and they were the kettle cooked kind. Also, Velveta used to make herb & garlic velveta shells and cheese. And a long time ago, I believe it was pepsi had a clear soda called Crystal Clear I believe...mmmmm...I miss these so much!

[lizmolik]

Oh Yeah..McDonalds used to have Chicken Fajitas...those were good! :)

[ept_0202]

I loved those brush-ups by O r a l - B. They were great when I use to travel a lot (just throw in purse).

And soon we have to add the McDonalds Southwest Salad to the list (as it will be going away soon:( )

I looooove the Southwest Salad. I could eat it everyday for lunch.

[breakaleg]

Hellmann's used to make salad dressing that was out of this world!

[elliedoom]

How about McRib sandwiches? I would sell my soul if they'd bring those back! :D

They seem to bring these back once a year for a short time? I think they had they here earlier this year..

I remember the Hellman's Salad Dressing! I had never cared for Italian Dressing until I tried there's. I can't believe they discontinued these!

The Manwich Bold & Spicy is still around. I just saw it last wk. when i grabbed my org. Manwich can. Check out their web site. you might be able to order some or it might be carried in an out of the way store you haven't checked yet. good luck!

[elliedoom]

Thanks Lunarbeamdancer. I used the product locator on Manwich.com (http://www.manwich.com). Unfortunately, no stores near me carry Manwich Bold. :(

[elliedoom]

Last fall they had the McRib Farewell Tour. I took that to mean that they weren't bringing it back. Or maybe that was just clever marketing, I dunno. But I do know that it's been over a year. (Yes, I keep track of these things.)
:D

[lizmolik]

I love the McRib...I hope they dont get completely rid of it...every year when it comes back, I swear thats all I eat!

Was out and about today and saw a banner in front of McDonalds about a McRib meal.......
good luck to the McRib lovers

[Jaymison84]

I miss McDonalds soups in the winter time. I loved their broccoli and cheese soup. I even asked the manager one time which brand it was and she said it was Campbell's. I even went and bought the soup in the store and it just wasn't the same. I could eat a bowl of it a day. When I was pregnant I craved that soup and would make my daughter's father go buy me like four bowls at a time.. so I could have them just in case I got a pregnancy craving and he wasn't around.. They were good sellers, I don't know why they took them off the menu

[Cpogie]

I did a search on google, they were already done with the "fairwell tour #3" so I don't think McRib is going anywhere, it's a marketing ploy they use....good for us that like McRib sandwiches..:)

[LisaRKR]

I miss the Andy Capp Orginal French Fry Chips. I can only find them in Hot now.

Also, I miss the Little Debbie Spice Cakes HORRIBLY!!!!

Daily Defense conditioner. It was cheap and got the tangles out of my hair.

[mom2fussbudgets]

I miss the Bar None and the Marathon candy bars as well. I also love that McDonald's Southwest Chicken salad. I'd take that salad over their french fries any day!

The Body Shop used to have a scent called Vert de Bamboo. I loved that stuff so much, but they discontinued it. :(

[cath_31]

I really enjoy reading these posts. Brings back the memories.

I miss Banana Suzie Q's. My mom used to really love Hey-Dey cookies (not sure how you spell them). She said they had caramel and nuts and she thought Nabisco made them. I remember when I was a kid I loved Crazy Cow strawberry cereal- it made the milk turn pink.

The McRib is back btw. I had one last night and I believe it started yesterday. It is the McRib Farewell Tour 3. hahaha:p

Great recipe! Thanks!

[2550]

They were these little packets that you put in the mirowave for 1 minute. It would heat up and pop open and there was a nice warm lemon scented wipe in there that you would use to wipe out the microwave. They worked great and smelled wonderful. I couldn't find them anywhere so I contacted the company and they said that they discontinued them. :(

Those sound really great too!

[pooh9272]

Still nursing the Rare Sapphires bottle I bought before it discontinued and Marathon bars! I was 5 and it was the only candy bar I ate! Mom got me one every Saturday.:p

[lovechocolate]

Avon's Natori....I miss that one!

[heges girl]

talking about wax in hair products my hairdresser said that the herbal essence shampoos have wax in them and dry out your hair.......been using them for sometime.....now stopped and notice the difference in the conditon of my hair........also my daughter's hair is not dried out . sometimes it pays to listen to a pro:)

[kellz29]

Here is a good website to find food and candy that isn't in your local store:

http://www.hometownfavorites.com/

[LORITHECHICK]

I'm going way back here kids...and I mean way back...
Rice Krinkles cereal
Triples candy bar

and newer sort of
Lighten up, hair lightener

[Cpogie]

Here is a good website to find food and candy that isn't in your local store:

http://www.hometownfavorites.com/

That is a wonderful site! I have used that site before to look for candy from when I was a kid, I did find "Horilicks Chocolate Wafers".
when I was a kid they came in a jar....I bet no one has ever heard of them, lol, this goes way back, but then, I am older than dirt!

[LisaRKR]

OK, talking of going way back, how about Quisp Cereal? My brother and I loved it! Funny thing is, you can still order it from a website I saw, but you can't buy it in the stores. Isn't that strange? I have to find the website again, it had a lot of products like that.

[LisaRKR]

OMG! Does it still have the little Quisp Alien guy on the front? What stores do you see it in? Maybe I should ask what state first! :cool:

[LisaRKR]

Quaker sells Quisp cereal, complete with the funny little alien guy on front, from their online store website. They also sell some of their other hard to find products from the website. Here's the link:

http://quakeroats.elsstore.com/

Thanks! I think I will order a couple of boxes to send to my brother for Christmas. It should bring back great memories!

[Cpogie]

Another good place for hard to find items is The Vermont Country Store--even the previously mentioned Horlick's wafers! Their website is: http://vermontcountrystore.com

It's not run very often at the plant that makes it--it's still made by Kraft under the Seven Seas label--and it's not distributed to very many stores.

You are right about the Green Goddess made by Seven Seas, they do come out with it every so often but it doesn't taste the same to me....and the Vermont Country Store is a wonderful catalog with so many "oldies" that I remember, and their prices aren't too bad either....thanks for the updates!

[mom2fussbudgets]

I miss Crystal Pepsi too!

[laf76]

I miss Crystal Pepsi too!

I did not like Crystal Pepsi but I drank it to be cool!!!!:D

[lizmolik]

Crystal Pepsi, that was the name of it...Ohhh I was a kid when it came out...and they used to have it in the machines where my dad worked (I used to go to his work after school) everyday I would get one...I wish I could have one again...that would be a great treat!

[jammom]

I love Quisp cereal-they used to sell it in Utah @ Macey's.Funny you mention Green Goddess-bought some @ our local Garden Fresh cause I saw it-not the same,but still good.Both hubby & I miss the old Heinz 57 sauce-hasn't been the same for at least 10 yrs.I used to love Enjoli Midnight perfume(diff from reg Enjoli) & the older St Ives collagen & elastin face cream-not the new.Not to mention,I used to like Pantene more than I do now-heard that Panthenol is too expensive & they don't use as much.Triscuit French onion thin crisps were my fav munchie w/ cheese,now I can only get the plain around here.Oh yeah-can't forget my fav perfume Gossip by Coty-after it was discontinued(before E-Bay-LOL)I ordered some from Coty's website & they smelled like they were sitting around.Maybe that's why I do so much sampling & product testing-cause I'm tired of good stuff dying off.Oh yeah-Hellmans salad dressing was great & great price too.Bummer....Deb
PS-Want to age us-who remembers Green River soda???

[azpuglvr]

Just an FYI--I saw Green Goddess Salad Dressing at a Wal-Mart SuperCenter in Glendale, AZ(suburb of Phoenix) today.

The food that I miss is Momma's Cookies(not sure if that the correct spelling:( ). I grew up in the southwest Ohio area(Dayton & Hamilton) & remember my grandma always having at least 1 box on hand everytime I visited. If I ever found them again I would probably buy at least a case. I especially loved that chocolate ones. The cookies had a hole in the center and I use to see how many I could fit on my finger at one time. Boy do I miss those carefree days.

You are kidding??? I still have two in my drawer. Just used one the other night. I love these and they work so well........darn it.......glad I stocked up on them a long time ago. :cool:

[jmedina44]

Avon's Natori....I miss that one!
My Aunt loved that perfume so much she named one of her daughters Natori (we call her Tori), I also miss the BarNone candy bar it was the best! Denny's has changed their chicken noodle soup and their ranch dressing, it's just not the same. :(

Quisp is still available, but hard to find. And my favorite bar has Green River on tap. :)

[i_faith2]

I really miss the old Herbal Essences shampoo before they started copying sunsilk and going with different colors for different hair types. The rose scented one was my favorite by far.

[kkristanc]

I really miss SUN-IN....that stuff worked great in my hair!:(

[vwine]

Brach's made the best red licorice that I ever ate. You used to be able to buy it in little packs to hand out at Halloween. I wrote them a letter to tell them I could not longer find it and see where I could buy it, and was informed that they no longer make it. Nothing compared to it so not I don't eat licorice.

[PandaFan]

Hi everyone...

Once in a while I have a craving, or would like to have something particular that has been discontinued. I discovered I can do an internet search for the item... especially candy and find the item and order the treat through the company online.

I saw Marathon bars (Marathon bars had another name as well Curly Wurly, which has peanut butter from years ago), licorice snaps, and other goodies in my wanderings.


Hope this helps!!

I can remember being little and my mom bought us cheese cracker called I think "Tidbits". Of course we were little and called them "tiddybits" LOLOL (hehe but we pronounced the "d" with "t") I wonder what happen to those?

I miss:

Clove Life Savers; clove gum; Black Jack gum; and a window cleaning compound which came in a pink can. when you applied it to the window glass, it dried leaving a film which you wiped off. You could see where you needed to wipe again.

On the Food Network the other day, can't remember the name of the show but it is hosted by Marc Summers, they were showing the Clove Gum and the people that produce it said that it is a product that they bring back every few years to select markets. Maybe you search and find ya some! I did not like it. lol

Fun Fact: It was very popular during Prohibition to help mask the smell of alcohol on ones breath.

I loved 7-UP Gold...does anyone remember that? Whenever I talk about it to anyone noone ever remembers it. I think I was the only one that liked it.:eek:
And Ragu Express...I actually wrote to the Company tonight trying to find out if they will bring it back ever.

[laf76]

[laf76]

I miss those Big Stuff Oreos. They were giant and were yummmmmy! Oh, and when I was a child my mom would give us I think Creamulsion when we had a cold. Seems like there were kids on the bottle and it was a cola colored liquid. I would get in trouble for sneaking it and drinking it. LOL

[lunarbeamdancer]

I remember & miss chicken cacciatore I think it was by Stouffers. It was a boil & serve bag. One bag for the sauce & the other bag was perforated for the curley pasta. My mother used to give it to me for lunch in elementary school in the (yikes!) 60's. OMG am I O L D!

[cath_31]

A few years back Dairy Queen had a seasonal Taffy Apple Blizzard (I think that was what it was called). It was terrific! Each fall I keep hoping they bring it back, but unfortunately they never do :( .

Oh My...I LOVED that too. My mom would get it for me sometimes at this little penny candy store in our local town. She hated the smell of it, but knew I Loved it.

[lisamartinez12]

I am not a big fan of Dominos Pizza, But a few years ago they had a special pizza called The Double Melt...oh how I loved that one...never seen it come back. Really would love to have another slice of that! YUM!

[mom2fussbudgets]

This is going to date me, but "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo. I used to use it when I was in high school, and the guys went nuts! It really did smell terrific. :)

This really isn't a product ~ but a brand name of clothing...

I loved Jordache jeans. I had so many pairs. All of the designs on the back pockets were different. Loved them!

[jen2129]

You are right! They even have a website and Heidi Klum is their model. Well even still, I liked the "old" styles of jeans they had.

I thought they were still around:confused:

[cath_31]

Where in the world happened to Jello-O Puddin pops? I miss those like crazy, especially the swirl ones!

I am glad you posted this. I used to like these as well and thought they stopped making them too. I will have to look for them since others posted they are still around.

You're in luck! One of our favorite vendors for rescuing oldies but goodies, Vermont Country Store, has brought back "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo!

Thanks for letting me know!

Fannie May used to make some lime flavored candies. They had a lime green colored coating and a lime flavored green cream filling. They used to be my favorite, but they unfortunately don't make them anymore :( .

[mom2fussbudgets]

OMG! I love Fannie May chocolates! Unfortunately, they are difficult to find. I used to buy them every once in awhile when I lived in AZ.

I need to check out this Vermont Country Store! It seems neat!

[LisaRKR]

Crystal Pepsi, that was the name of it...Ohhh I was a kid when it came out...and they used to have it in the machines where my dad worked (I used to go to his work after school) everyday I would get one...I wish I could have one again...that would be a great treat!

:eek: OMG! You are just a baby!!!!! I was already graduated from college when you were still a kid! (Feeling old here!)

[elliedoom]

Everyone I know thought Crystal Pepsi was nasty. :eek:

One of my clients today told me that Jell-o was going to stop making the pistachio pudding--that means no more Watergate Salad:eek: !! I love that stuff--reminds me of past holidays, one of those comfort foods....:(
I haven't checked to confirm--anyone else heard that??

I miss those little Morton's macaroni and cheeses. They came in a brown box and little aluminum pie pan and you baked them in the oven. It was the best M&C I have ever had. They also had pot pies that were awesome too..
2 more that I remember are keebler tato skins in sour cream and onion were great. TGIFridays have some that are good just not the same. I also remember Sizzlean (I think that is how it is spelled) it was a type of bacon my mom made. It didnt look like regular bacon though. Those are some of my long ago faves~!

I always liked Chunky bars too, I haven't had one for a long time, but have seen them occasionally in the store. Another simlar one you might like(that they also still make) is Cadbury's fruit and nut candy bar- it's really good too.

I miss the number 13 at Wendys.It was the chicken salad chabatta sandwich

[Mauiwowwee]

They discontinued them?! I don't live near a Wendy's any more, and I was looking forward to one of these sandwiches when I went up north at Christmas and New Year's time. SIGH... :(
yep discontinued,maybe cause it was healthy

[gatito]

[roxy]

We used to get Godiva ice cream and ice cream bars, there chocolate icecream was so good!!:p Have not been able to find it for months!!:( Even tried to send the company an email but they never responded!!:rolleyes:

[countrypkin65]

OK...this hasn't been gone for too long yet, but I REALLY loved Dove "Nutrium" body wash and bars. Fortunately, when I first couldn't find it on the grocery shelves I call Dove(lever?) and they sent me tons of coupons, (for other products), and told me to search ebay & small mom & pop stores for them. I did, and got quite the stockpile of them. Currently I have only 3 big (24oz) bottles of body wash left, and approx 40 some bars left. I am however, hoping, they will come to their senses and bring it back. Why do they stop making something if the demand for it is so high? That baffles me!!

Another thing I miss, that was only out for a short time a few years back was Taco Bells Frito chili. Man....was that stuff good! Now whenever I have chilli, I make sure to have fritos on hand!

And....a good place to find old time candies, etc, that are no longer on store shelves, is

www.vermontcountrystore.com good luck!:D

[Motherofthree]

It was only for a limited time:(

[cath_31]

I used to like Carnation Instant Breakfast bars. They had a great chocolatey coating on them and the center was kind of dense and very tasty. I also liked Milk Break bars. Part of their lingo was "there's half a glass of milk in every Milk Break bar". There are alot of different breakfast bars around now, but nothing like either of these unfortunately.

[rwillis]

I miss Panera's Fandango salad. I'm still upset that they got rid of it.

And while this isn't discontinued, it's now VERY hard to find: Johnson & Johnson's Soft Creme. They have Soft Lotion, but this stuff is thicker and actually worked.

Aveda is discontinuing their Brilliant Forming Gel and I can't figure out why, because that stuff is amazing for curly or straight hair. I bought all they had left last time I was there.

[cath_31]

Speaking of haircare, I am saddened because Infusium discontinued it's 'Repair and Smooth Lotion'. This worked great on my unruly hair. I contacted the company since I didn't see it in the store anymore, and sure enough they discontinued it. Luckily I stocked up on it when it was in my Big Lots store, so I still have some left. Maybe by the time it is used up they will bring back something similar, because years ago they had a similar product with a different name that they ALSO DISCONTINUED. Both of these products were the best thing I have ever used to keep my hair tamed. What a bummer!

[lbthatsme]

Does anyone remember the shampoo and conditioner "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" ?? I forgot who made it but it was in a purple bottle I think...smelled sooooo good! Its gone now but use to love it! Along with the old smell of Agree shampoo and conditioner...it smells different than it did back in the the 70-80's...Just wondering if I am the only one who misses shampoo smells..I know I am weird!! LOL

[lbthatsme]

Nope, you're not the only one. I used to love the smell, and would request it by name on shopping trips--my Dad thought I was kidding about the name :) Actually, one of the forum moderators mom2fussbudgets brought up "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" back on page 10 or so of this thread, so you have written proof that you are not alone! Good news--Vermont Country Store carries it! Bad new, it's a little pricey. But, if you want to spring for that scented shampoo that takes you down memory lane, it is there for you! Their website is www.vermontcountrystore.com

Oh my gosh how funny!! Thank you for the info! Went to the site..for 14.95 you can walk (whiff ) down memory lane!! Plus shipping! My memory will have to just have to do for now! I didn't read through all the products everyone misses, I am glad I am not alone! Does anyone remember "Happy Hair" aerosol can of conditioner/sheen my sister use to have it with her at all times! Now she is a grandma!! Times flies when you are shampooing!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

This is going to date me, but "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo. I used to use it when I was in high school, and the guys went nuts! It really did smell terrific. :)

Lisa! I remember it! I posted about it earlier in this thread. :)

Just Kidding, but I will never tell!! Unless their is a good coupon to swap for the info!! LOL!!!
Last night I checked Ebay, and of course its there!! The same purple bottle! I wish it would make a come back!

[rebate queen]

Oh my, when I went to their website last night, I found a short-lived product that I had totally forgotten about--Body on Tap shampoo in its amber brown-hued plastic faux beer bottle container. I tried it once a long time ago. Must not have liked it, or I would have bought more than one bottle of the stuff in my lifetime.
I remember that one too!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

I remember it too! Anyone remember Lemon Up? My girlfriend and I used to wash our hair with it then sit out in the sun hoping to get that sun-bleached blonde look.

Late with a comment on this (just joined), but had to comment on the Chunky Bar of today. Not much like the original. It was full of nuts and raisins. Not so today. With the reduced size, and increased price, it is not worth it.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this product...but I've give anything to get my hands on just one more bottle of Grease Relief. I think it was made by Dow Chemicals. I have about 2 cups of a bottle left...and I guard it with my life. :p

[debbha]

I miss:

Clove Life Savers; clove gum; Black Jack gum; and a window cleaning compound which came in a pink can. when you applied it to the window glass, it dried leaving a film which you wiped off. You could see where you needed to wipe again.

Was that window cleaning stuff called "Imperial glass wax"?????

about 8 years ago the whole "casserole" in a box started at the grocery store. all you needed was chicken or beef. These are still around but one of them used to be made by stove top(before kraft bought them). In college every week we made the cheesy chicken bake. It was so good and the cheese sauce was to die for. I would love to eat that again!

[lisamartinez12]

Not sure if you have tried the Cambells Cheesey Chicken Bake in stores now. My family likes it, although I never had the stove top one to compare it to. :)

I used to buy an orange flavored muffin mix in the little pouch - made 5 or six muffins. Can't find it anymore. It was either Pillsbury or Martha White. I love orange muffins!

[mspete]

Thanks for the recipe, notyard. I will try it. I did try a lemon muffin recipe and used orange juice/zest instead. They were okay. Maybe I will try this one and take it to my bowling group next Friday. But then again, they will eat almost anything!:)

Ambush perfume. It smelled so good and it was what i was wearing when i met my husband:D . I would love to have some more.

[bugspost]

Ambush was launched by Dana in 1955. It is a sharp, oriental, woody fragrance possessing a mix of lavender, jasmine, oakmoss, sandalwood and patchouli accompanied by fruity notes of fresh citrus, melons, peaches and plums. Ambush is recommended for daytime wear.

There is some talk on this site about the NEW Ambush versus the old...

I'm gonna go WAY BACK...Does anyone remember Swanson frozen dinners
that came in the alumium trays? Swanson used to put out an International
flavored frozen dinners-I used to eat the German one all the time....

How about Rice Cream Flakes Cereal?
Ragu Pasta Meals (came in a jar)?

I used to remember years back when I was a kid that those little boxes of
cereals that came all together (kelloggs snack pack/or kelloggs Jumbo pk)
You could open up the front of the box and each the cereal with milk right out of the box itself...it was lined with thick wax paper.

Well, General Mills put those out only the cereal was in one long box and
each different cereal was in a cellophone pkg you could see right thru.

I have found memories of the Swanson frozen dinners in the aluminum trays. They were so good.

I remember the individual cereal boxes that you could put milk in too. So convenient.

The one thing I would like to have that I used to eat a lot is the Tuna Helper Tuna Tetrazzini. I don't know why I liked it so much because I normally don't like foods that aren't homemade but for some reason I just crave it.

They still make Lik M Aid and candy dots on paper, I can get them at my local grocery store, but they don't carry fresh herbs, garlic or ginger....strange town I live in. You can also find them on oriental trading, ebay and nastalga (way spelled wrong) stores usuall found in tourist towns.

Anyone Remember Fizzies? It was a round pill type thing the size of about
a quarter that you put into a glass of water and "PRESTO" you got a soft
drink in a glass. I used to LOVE those drinks as a kid on a hot summers day.
I wonder why they quit making it? They would come on a sheet of 6 or 8
and the pills things were in foil you just punched out.
I remember the flavors of Rootbeer, lime, cherry, raspberry, orange and I am
sure there were others.

[SSIAnkie]

I don't remember the fizzies, but I think I would have liked 'em. I do remember a candy called Zotz. It was like a hard candy, but the inside fizzed up in your mouth. Those were so good. I also remember a gum called razzles. They were round (smaller than a penny), and all different flavors in one pkg. They were also good. Am I telling my age....lol

I had never heard of these before so I did some research... If you don't mind ordering online, I found a website called Old Time Candy http://www.oldtimecandy.com/packabag.htm , that sells individual packs of Fizzies for $2.69, or a case for $14.99. The quantities on the Fizzies website seem to be for retailers to order. Just thought I'd throw that out there! :)

[moonchild64]

You folks are making me hungry!

I really miss Kraft's clam dip!!! I even wrote to them about it but *sigh* they have no plans on bringing it back. :( Any of you have a good recipe for clam dip that tastes like Kraft's?

There are 2 items I miss and think about a lot though I can't recall their names. One was a chip that tasted just like bacon. It was even shaped like a small bite of bacon and was striped to similate the strips of meat and fat. Haha ... that sounds gross but it truly was awesome! The other was a chocolate and caramel candy bar. It was about 6' long and the caramel was twisted in a pattern similar to a lattice strip and then covered in chocolate. Anyone remember these? I am 43 so if you are around my age then maybe you will recall them.

Oh yeah ... wanted to tell you ... I see Razzles at the Dollar Tree all the time! Hopefully those of you wanting them have a Dollar Tree nearby. :) I love that place because they carry several items I can no longer find in the grocery store. Such as "Not So Sloppy" Sloppy Joe sauce. I LOVE that brand so much better than any of the others.

You are talking about the Marathon candy bar! I loved those darn things. They were huge! I used to take a bite, let all the chocolate melt off, then eat the caramel. They'd last forever that way! Sure could use one now! :D

OMGoodness! You are right! After reading your reply, I looked up Marathon Candy Bar so I could see if I could find a picture of the actual candy w/o the wrapper. They have a picture of it at the oldtimecandy site. Apparently, at one time, they were also called Curly Wurly. :) I have got to have one (or 2 or 10) of those!

TeeHee ... I used to eat mine the same way. Man I loved those bars! :p

Kissle- chocolate yogurts, late 80's, chocolate yogurt that didn't have the sour yogurt taste to it. It tasted more like a chocolate pudding.

Anyone remember Chiquita Bananaramas? They were banana cookies shaped like bananas (even had the "Chiquita" stamp!) with chocolate on the bottom. My grandma used to get them for me at Food Lion when I was little. I miss the good old days :(

Also, the Mushroom air fresheners from the 80s! They were plastic mushrooms with a scented layer on top. I can't remember what they were called, and can't find anything about them.

[indybuggy]

there was a shampoo in the 90's by Revlon called outrageous...its smelled SOO freaking good! you could go all day without deodorant because your hair smelled so good, I think they had it again for a while or still do but its a different formula. the old one was in a big black round bottle with a round cap.

[SamplingGal]

I remember Quisp. I even see it in the stores every once in a while.


I LOVED Quisp and I've really missed it!!! I have not seen it in any stores in probably 20 years or more. I did go online and googled Quisp cereal. You can buy it for $4.99 a box plus $2.50 shipping and handling. Seems a little steep to me. What stores has anyone seen this in and about how much does it cost?

[mplessner]

This is going to date me, but "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo. I used to use it when I was in high school, and the guys went nuts! It really did smell terrific. :)

Oh! and Rosemilk lotion!

BTW Maypo is still around; a non-chain grocery store in this area carries it. My Dad was raised on that stuff and passed that one on to me!

As for Sun-In you can use hydrogen peroxide and lemon juice to get the same results.

Anyone remember Chiquita Bananaramas? They were banana cookies shaped like bananas (even had the "Chiquita" stamp!) with chocolate on the bottom. My grandma used to get them for me at Food Lion when I was little. I miss the good old days :(

Also, the Mushroom air fresheners from the 80s! They were plastic mushrooms with a scented layer on top. I can't remember what they were called, and can't find anything about them.

They were called "Magic Mushroom"! Here's an old commercial from the 80's: http://youtube.com/watch?v=NVoZHjuV3FA

LOL...my mom had these things all over our house...good memories :D

[imalittletoenail]

A longer commercial for the Magic Mushroom with a singing mustachioed gentleman--the Australian version I think. I had forgotten about these air fresheners, too!

LMAO...there are just no words for that !!!

I Agree Those Morton Macaroni And Cheese Were Great! Did The Company Go Out Of Business?:)

[cooking4]

I also loved Ambush perfume!

[Brbie]

I miss Avon's Fantasque Perfume. Another thing I really miss is Spic-N-Span in the box, in powder/crystal form. It cleans so great and leaves the bath room smelling so fresh. The liquid form does not clean like the powder/crystal form did. Barbee

Body on tap shampoo, was great stuff,but no more:(

[kasie]

I really miss SUN-IN....that stuff worked great in my hair!:(

they still this i bought a bottle at sallys beauty salon for $3 and at walmart NOW for $6

[kasie]

Hey, I found all of the flavors of Fizzies, even the rootbeer, on the shelf at Farm and Fleet of all places. $1.99 for a package of 8--MUCH better price, and MUCH easier to try when you only have to buy a single package, not a case!

This will probally make some fizzie fans jealous ..we have razzle here in SC for .10 for the single packages and $1 for a case i think at one of the dollar stores..yum ..there gum too though kinda weird! : )

[laf76]

I also loved Ambush perfume!

I just sold some of that on Ebay!

[Cpogie]

HAHAHA--that's definitely a good deal, but it doesn't make me jealous. I like Fizzies, Black Jack gum, Teaberry gum, Chuckles, and a bunch of other products--old childhood memories that made me happy when they reappeared in the physical form, not just as memories. I never ran across Razzles before in my life until someone mentioned them here. Now, if you find some of that gold nugget gum stuff--rather like Chiclets, but all yellow and irregularly shaped little pieces of candy-coated gum, shaped to look like little "gold nuggets", sold in a little cloth drawstring bag--on that sort of sale in your favorite dollar store, give me a holler. :D

Jude, I think I saw Blackjack gum at our Dollar Tree store. I was just there today, got myself my fav's little candies Smarties!!

I grew up eating Nabisco TidBits. But now, if it doesn't have "Nips" in the name, Nabisco doesn't seem interested in making it. These had a decent amount of salt, which is what I think made them so good.

[ModernMode]

I LOVED the original BBQ Ruffles Potato Chips. They were discontinued by Frito-Lay in the late 1980's. I still mourn that loss. The one's today suck!!

[ModernMode]

I LOVED Quisp and I've really missed it!!! I have not seen it in any stores in probably 20 years or more. I did go online and googled Quisp cereal. You can buy it for $4.99 a box plus $2.50 shipping and handling. Seems a little steep to me. What stores has anyone seen this in and about how much does it cost?
I found Quisp cereal on a clearance table at Dollar General. I think they must have gotten a case by mistake. Your best bet is to get some friends and split a case from Quaker's website.

Sizzlean Beef Bacon cooked perfectly every time and tasted exactly like real bacon. I have found no replacement for it.

I find the Kraft mac and cheese crackers taste like Tidbits. I loved them as a child.

[kellie1972]

OMG, I loved this shampoo! I may be showing my age here...lol. I was able to find it on eBay though. Did any of you use this shampoo? :p

[rebate queen]

Yes. The scent remains a fond memory. And, a memory it will stay, as I'm a tightwad and I would never bring myself to part with $14 to $15 for 12 ounces of shampoo, either from Ebay vendors or Vermont Country Store. :) I've become quite happy with decent brands of almost free and free shampoo or shampoo I actually make money on through sales, coupons, and rebates.

I remember loving this also, but I'm with you Jude! I'd never pay that much for it. Also, that is not the way the bottle looked way back then.

20 some years ago my mom used to buy these crossaints- I think from Sara lee???? They came 2 to a box(in freezer section) and they were filled with like chicken and broccoli and cheese, or ham and cheese- they were nice sized and really yummy- they do not sell them anymore- haven't in years around here- but man oh man mom and I miss them so much. They were oh oh soooo good! Anyone remember these????

[djurges]

Smelled awesome & worked so good.

I remember something like that but from Pepperidge farms those things were yummy. I loved the broccoli and cheese ones.

Green Goddess Salad Dressing, the original one! This made a return once, but it did not taste the same, and now even that one is gone.

Seven Seas still makes Green Goddess salad dressing. They sell it down here in Winn-Dixie....ITA, it does not taste the same at all....

[missinformation]

How about "Chicken Tonight". It came in a jar like Ragu sauce.

My family loved the sweet and sour one! I loved it because I could come home from school, cut up the chicken, and toss it all into the frying pan and not worry about it while I was doing my homework!

OT note: I was cutting up chicken one afternoon with the big butcher knife. Doorbell rang and it was some religious solicitation....they stared at me and cleared all 4 front steps without hitting one...and went racing back to their car. Turns out, I was holding the knife, point down, and it had chicken blood on it!!!! :eek: :D

[missinformation]

I miss my old pink Camay soap...I was able to use it and not break out......

And Babe doedorant, smelled like the perfume....

and I don't know if they still make Love's Fresh Lemon? ummmm, smelled so good.....I know they still make Baby Soft....

And Brookdale soda. Could only get it by the case...came in glass bottles and you had to order it to have home delivery. My neighbor used to ge it...she would always get the seltzer in the cobalt bottles too.....they made a Lemon Fizz soda that I have not been able to find the equivalent of anywhere....

And Ne-hi....we always got grape.....

[jennifer13denise]

Here is my list

red fusion pop - red dr. pepper. great for mixing with....;) ..stuff

charms candy - like lifesavers, but square and better

x's & o's - a cheeto that was not hard, not puff. inbetween in o & x shapes

twix in cookies & cream - they had a bunch of flavors. can only get peanut butter and original now.

tv show bullrun - one of the few shows my hubby and i watch together, like a reality show car race

so many things disappear on the market, its hard to keep track

[philli97]

I miss starburst twizzlers. They were my favorite.

Carnation Instant Breakfast Bars. With all the meal replacement bars out there I'm surprised they haven't resurrected these. Yummy!

[we3kings]

Way back in the day, my Dad worked for 3M. They had a product that was only out a few years. It was called MMM...MMM...What a Tan! It had an spf of about 2. I can remember sitting on the top of their boat on the Mississippi River and having tons of butterflies land on me. There must have been something sweet smelling in it. Oh the good old days before we cared about skin cancer. I'm sure I'll be paying for all those glorious hours baking in the sun.:o

I agree with you, those were delicious. I posted this back in December (It's post #155):

I used to like Carnation Instant Breakfast bars. They had a great chocolatey coating on them and the center was kind of dense and very tasty. I also liked Milk Break bars. Part of their lingo was "there's half a glass of milk in every Milk Break bar". There are alot of different breakfast bars around now, but nothing like either of these unfortunately.

[angel7794]

Mary Kay Tribute perfume. It was discontinued and I am so bummed! Now I will have to get more on Ebay!

[danajc83]

I miss McDonalds Chicken Fajitas and Dr. Pepper Bubble Gum!

[mckenzie]

I am with you on the Chicken Fajitas I LOVED those, and I also really miss the Mr Clean Apple scent they discontinued in in Dec 2007 :( the rest of them stink and I will not buy them

[lunarbeamdancer]

Idahoan mashed potatoes makes a wonderful southwest flavor (you can tatse lime in them). but ALL 4 grocery stores around me no longer carry that flavor. grrrr. yes they still make the flavor, its the 1st on their flavors page. sure do miss that that one. but if you havent tried them yet...ALL the flavors are wonderful & so quick...just 2 cups boiling water is all you need. was great with steak with just a little butter on the top.

[WIJoviGirl]

I wish Hypnotic perfume would come back. My mom used to wear it when I was a little girl, and I will never forget that smell when she wore it. She would only use it when she would go out with my dad and we had a babysitter coming over. It would bring back those memories from when I was a little girl. I think Avon made it, but I'm not sure. Wish it would come back.

[WIJoviGirl]

Salon Selectives shampoo & conditioner. I loved that apple smell.

[WIJoviGirl]

Bring back soda in glass bottles. Nothing like popping the top off a bottle and drinking straight from the bottle.

Same here, we have a vegetable store sorta like a farmers market only in store form, anyways they have a section with sodas all in bottles, some old brands that aren't sold in stores anymore.

[lizval99]

My kids loved the Campbell's Goldfish Soup with Meatballs. I don't know if they stopped making it, but it is no longer sold in our area. I have checked all the grocery stores and Wal-mart and Target. I filled out a product request at the grocery store I shop at weekly with no luck. I also emailed Campbell's customer service and got no response. I buy the Goldfish soup that has no meatballs, but the kids say it is not the same.:(

I miss reduced fat slice and bake Pillsbury cookie dough. That was awesome and didn't taste low fat.

I miss Baked Lays Sour Cream & Onion. They still make it but they don't sell them anywhere near Savannah, GA.

I miss Grandma's fudge cookies - ditto... they make it ,but not around this region anymore.

My roommate in college always had a huge bottle of "Stiff Stuff" hairspray ---it was like superglue you could spray on your hair. Took 2 or 3 shampoos to get it washed out, but man, it could hold that 80s hair like nobody's business!! :)
